Chapter 068 Decision
Everyone who heard this was captivated.
They were all waiting.
Wen Shixin didn't keep them in suspense and continued, "At that time, with the capabilities of our home planet, we could only take away five million people."
Four million of them were quotas approved by the federal government at the time, and they were all elites from various industries, their families, and high-ranking officials.
There are only one million slots available for ordinary people.
Compared to the massive population, one million is far too little...
Countless people are protesting and boycotting.
Ultimately, it escalated into unprecedented chaos.
The most tragic war in the history of the home planet has broken out.
Because someone spread a rumor that if you kill a certain number of people, you can get a ticket to escape from hell.
In just a few years, the population plummeted by 30%, which gives you an idea of how many people died at that time.
More importantly, many people are actually unwilling to leave their homeland, even if they know that staying on their home planet may lead to its demise.
But they were precisely the first to be drawn into the war.
This is what is known as the old days.
If possible, I hope you can go back to the old days.
We're not going to take a look; we're going to save our broken home planet.
That's your root too...
After Wen Shixin finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
They had no concept of a home planet, but they understood the kind of turmoil it was.
"Actually, it's much more than that." Just then, Alpha spoke up, "According to historical records, when we evacuated our home planet, the remaining population was less than ten million."
In just five years, the population has plummeted to this extent.
The reason is not as simple as you say.
"Are you sure it's true that killing enough people will earn you a ticket to escape hell?"
"What other reasons are there?" Li Maoran asked curiously.
"You still can't understand this?" Alpha said. "The smaller the population, the fewer resources are needed. Am I right?"
Don't tell me you don't know who spread the rumors back then. If the records are correct, it was you guys who started it, right?
Simply put, if we leave behind tens of billions of people after we begin interstellar migration, our home planet can only last for a year at most.
Ultimately, only less than ten million people remained; wasn't that just to prolong the war? You wouldn't disagree with that, would you?
Alpha certainly doesn't want Wen Shixin to take everyone back to the old days, as that would have a huge impact on history.
Most importantly, now that Yaoyang has been resurrected, if He continues to harbor the idea of destroying this world, Yaoyang will definitely not let Him go.
So dismantling Wen Shixin's platform became the only thing He could do at that moment.
"Didn't you guys have a hand in this?" Just then, Winston's voice suddenly came, "No one can absolve themselves of all responsibility. Since you're using historical records, you should know the source of this rumor."
At most, we just added fuel to the fire; if we're talking about who started it all, it's not our place.
Beidou Chen should know this better than anyone else.
When Beidou Chen saw that the topic had turned to him, he said helplessly, "Is it meaningful to argue about right and wrong at this time?"
What's done is done, isn't it?
I'm curious, how did you guys come from the old days?
Has technology advanced to this level in the old days?
It's important to understand that even in the new era, time travel, and even space travel, are still in their infancy.
Time and space, how do you control them?
It is said that in the vast universe, only the Reverse Light lineage is most skilled at reversing time and space. Have you cooperated with the Reverse Light lineage?
Or should they be imprisoned, or what should be done with the Reverse Light lineage?
Let me tell you, the Reverse Light lineage is not to be trifled with...
No sooner had He finished speaking than Baozi hurriedly said in Meng Shisan's mind, "Quick, ask, ask if Wen Shixin has any cooperation with the Reverse Light faction."
Meng Shisan was also taken aback. This little guy had been pretending to be dead ever since Yaoyang arrived, but Beidou Chen's words made him unable to keep up the act.
He glanced at Beidou Chen with a serious expression, feeling that the guy was saying it on purpose to pique Baozi's interest.
As soon as Baozi spoke, Yaoyang's eyes visibly lit up.
He looked at Meng Shisan with great surprise.
The same flavor as backlighting?
He couldn't be mistaken about the voice, but the fact that the Reverse Light lineage appeared on Meng Shisan truly shocked him.
"Quick, ask him! That guy has already spotted me!" Baozi urged.
Meng Shisan then looked at Wen Shixin and asked, "Have you really taken control of the Reverse Light lineage?"
Otherwise, how would you travel through time and space?
"Control?" Before Wen Shixin could speak, Winston spoke first, "Ask anyone here, who can control the Reverse Light lineage?"
They defy time!
If they wish, they can instantly travel back in time. How can you control them?
Don't be fooled by Beidou Chen's self-proclaimed lineage of righteous light; he's nothing more than parroting others.
"So you're cooperating with the Reverse Light faction?" Alpha asked at this moment.
"Isn't it normal to cooperate with the Reverse Light faction? They were born at the end of time, know everything from ancient times to the present, and reverse time to go back to the past, isn't it all to save this world?"
"When the Reverse Light faction chose us, it only proved that you had chosen the wrong path," Winston said emphatically. "They chose to cooperate with us precisely because they witnessed how absurd and ridiculous your choice was. Isn't that enough to prove anything?"
The lineage of backlighting is an extremely unique existence in the entire universe.
It can be said that no one has ever truly mastered the art of backlighting.
There's nothing you can do; by the time you try to catch Him, He's already gone to yesterday.
How do you catch it?
It can be said that, in the entire universe, the backlight lineage is the most favored.
"So, everything we're doing now is meaningless?" Liu Jiaming suddenly asked, "After all, the Reverse Light lineage chose you?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Alpha said. "The Reverse Light faction has never represented justice; they only act according to their hearts."
"Ask Him who he's collaborating with in the Reverse Light lineage." Now that he's been exposed, Baozi isn't as cautious as before.
"Are you looking for someone?" Meng Shisan asked immediately when he saw Baozi's hurried manner.
Baozi hesitated for a moment and said, "I guess so. Before me, there were actually quite a few people who reversed time and came back, but I haven't heard any news about them along the way."
Thirteen, if—and I mean if—I asked you to agree to go back to the old days with Wen Shixin and the others, would you go?
"If I don't go, will you go?" Meng Shisan suddenly realized that no matter what the situation was like in the past, since Baozi knew about it, he must want to go and see it.
"I can't go with them, but if you don't go, I might just go back to the old times myself."
I'm sorry, but I also have my own mission and responsibilities to bear.
After Baozi finished speaking, he fell silent.
He felt somewhat apologetic, but his apology did not deter his determination to go.
"I'm willing to go with you to the old days." After thinking for a moment, Meng Shisan made his decision.
Steamed buns are extremely important to Him.
Putting everything else aside, he wouldn't be able to enter the Burial Soul River without steamed buns.
In the past few days, he has also discovered that what is really causing changes in his body is not himself, but Baozi.
He gave the instructions to Baozi, and Baozi began to carry them out.
Although the reason is unknown, that is the fact.
Without steamed buns, he would instantly become an ordinary person.
Ordinary people have no voice in this world.
Just look at Cao Er around you and you'll understand this perfectly.
As soon as he said this, everyone except Bei Douchen and Yaoyang, whether it was Wen Shixin or Alpha, Cao Er or Liu Jiaming, or anyone listening to the communicator, was stunned for a moment.
Is he willing to go back to the old days?
It was hard for anyone to understand.
The natural environment may have been better in the past, but the living conditions were definitely not as good as they are here.
There's an old saying: "Better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos."
Is this guy really determined to venture into that chaotic world?
Staying here, even though the natural environment is harsh, at least we can barely survive.
Especially now, Meng Shisan is clearly becoming more and more at ease in the wasteland.
Almost everyone believed that Meng Shisan was capable of leading everyone to survive in the wasteland.
"Are you sure?" Wen Shixin asked, somewhat incredulous.
Meng Shisan nodded: "There's nothing to be sure about. I just want to see the old days."
If I could change history, why not? Surely history books wouldn't hesitate to write a chapter about me, would they?
"Yes, no." Wen Shixin suddenly smiled.
Meng Shisan is the most representative of this group of people. If he agrees, he is truly satisfied.
"Thank you." Baozi, who usually disliked Meng Shisan, surprisingly said thank you, even though it was unusual for him to do so.
Meng Shisan had no time to pay attention to him. Taking advantage of Wen Shixin's full-frequency voice, he continued, "Everyone, we will meet again someday. This time, I may have broken my promise and failed to lead you to a better future."
However, after these past few days, you have actually done a very good job.
How far you can go in the future depends entirely on yourselves.
Don't feel like I abandoned you.
To be honest, I don't owe you anything.
We're all the same; I have my own choices, and so do you.
Moreover, if I were to return to the old days with Wen Shixin and the others, I would only be taking away two menaces for you, right?
Don't be discouraged, be happy. Without these two menaces, you can live better in this awful place.
As for Liu Jiaming and Li Maoran, you can use them as practice subjects.
To be honest, I never considered them as rivals from the beginning, there was nothing I could do about it.
It's not that I look down on them, it's just that people who like to sacrifice the interests of others to satisfy themselves are always lacking something.
Such people are destined not to go far.
Of course, I welcome anyone who wants to come with me.
It's just the past; once we've gone there, we become the saviors of that past.
Wen Shixin was so clever; at that very moment, he quietly turned on all the communicators.
"Count me in, idol! Forget about new times and old times, wherever we go, that's where our time is!"
All that could be heard was Xie Linbo's loud shouting coming from the communicator.
"Yes, I'll go too." Yang Jiu couldn't resist either.
All he knew was that in this world, following Meng Shisan might be the only way to survive.
For a time, many people clamored to revisit the old days of Meng Thirteen District.
This scene left many people dumbfounded.
When did Meng Shisan acquire this level of influence?
"Thirteen, give us some time to discuss this, shall we?" It was at this moment that Shen Mo's voice came.
He represents the entire Department of Energy.
"Wen Shixin, tell me, when are we leaving?" Meng Shisan suddenly looked at Wen Shixin.
"You set the time." Although Wen Shixin was excited, he still kept his eyes on Yaoyang.
He didn't know if Yaoyang could accept this outcome.
"Don't look at me like that. As long as they're willing, I won't interfere." Yaoyang felt disgusted, as if he had swallowed a huge fly.
He originally thought no one would leave.
After all, the old days were a meat grinder, and no normal person would go there.
Even a madman like Meng Shisan wouldn't go.
Who knew that Meng Shisan actually possessed the lineage of Reverse Light, and who would have thought that Meng Shisan would have such terrifying influence.
Thinking this, He suddenly looked at Beidou Chen. If anyone is to blame, it's this guy.
Why did he have to bring up something he didn't want to talk about?
For a moment, He even suspected that this guy might be colluding with Wen Shixin and the others.
Alpha was stunned. He didn't know about Baozi's existence and really couldn't understand Meng Shisan's reason for making this decision. He was completely dumbfounded.
"Are you crazy? Don't you know that the old times are still in chaos right now? It's a complete meat grinder. What can people like you do if you go back?"
To be cannon fodder for others?
Have you ever seen the people of an entire city turn to ashes in an instant?
Have you ever heard of nuclear war, or witnessed it?
That's how it was back then. It's no exaggeration to say that on average, a city would be attacked by a nuclear bomb every day. Are you sure you still want to go?
There are many saviors in this world, but do you think you can impersonate them?
"That's a problem for me to consider, you don't need to worry about it," Meng Shisan said with a casual smile.
He didn't care about any of that. Without Baozi, he wouldn't even have the means to survive in this world, so he might as well gamble on the old days.
At least as long as Baozi is around, he won't die.
He can still distinguish this point.
"Base Commander, Minister Li, aren't you tempted?" Ignoring Alpha, Meng Shisan turned to Liu Jiaming and the other man. "If ambitious people don't even have this much courage, then they're really in trouble."
"Meng Shisan." Seeing that Meng Shisan was still enticing Liu Jiaming and the others, Yaoyang's tone changed immediately.
If everyone leaves, He will go crazy.
He needs a surge of life force to revive.
Even if Meng Shisan wanted to take everyone away, He would stop Him, even if it meant falling into slumber again.
Different demands lead to different ways of handling things.
"Don't provoke Him. If He really goes berserk, no one here can withstand it," Baozi immediately reminded him in his mind.
Meng Shisan nodded, then asked, "Speaking of which, after we return to the old days, will you be able to bring us back here?"
"Back here?" Baozi thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem. As long as we set a few time anchors, we can do it. However, I probably can't take many people with me at once."
Wen Shixin and his ilk must have used some other method.
"Then you can place an order." Meng Shisan was overjoyed upon hearing this, then asked, "By the way, are you sure Yaoyang has already discovered you?"
"What's there to be sure about?" Baozi pouted. "If I don't speak, it's hard for Him to find me, but once I speak, He will definitely find me. That's normal."
If He can't even do this, then He's wasted his potential.
"Understood." After saying that, Meng Shisan looked at Yaoyang and smiled, "How about we make a deal this time?"
